Surah Al-Qadr

Surah 97 · The Power · 5 verses · meccan

The Decree — al-Qadr, the night on which matters are decreed.

The story

There is one night in Ramadan that is better than a thousand months — that is more than eighty years! On that night angels come down, and it is peaceful all the way until morning.

How it unfolds

AYAH 1-2
The night it came down
The revelation's beginning, and a question that holds the answer back.
AYAH 3
Better than a thousand months
The value stated in a comparison anyone can measure.
AYAH 4-5
Peace until dawn
Angels descending for every matter, and peace until the sun rises.

Verses to carry

97:3"The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months."
97:5"Peace it is, until the emergence of dawn."
97:1"Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree."

Remember this

One good night of worship can be worth more than a whole lifetime.
